Generating a disaster recovery estimation job using BMC AMI Recovery Manager

Use the following procedure to set options for and run a disaster recovery estimation job.

Before you begin

Perform the following steps before you run an estimation job:

  1. Build or revalidate your subsystem object sets.
    If you have not yet built subsystem object sets, perform the steps in Task-1-first-time-only-Building-subsystem-object-sets.
  2. Establish a recovery point.
    See Task-2-Establishing-a-recovery-point.
  3. Establish the archive log copy options.
    See Task-3-Setting-archive-log-copy-options.

To generate a recovery estimation job

  1. From the main menu, select 6. Subsystem recovery.
  2. From the Subsystem Recovery Preparation and JCL Generation panel, select 5. Disaster recovery.
  3. On the Disaster Recovery panel, select 5. Estimate DR Recovery.
    The Mirror Strategy panel is displayed.

  4. Specify your mirroring strategy as required. (See Task-5-Setting-options-to-generate-simulation-JCL.)

    Important

    The mirroring strategy that you specify here remains in effect only for the current estimation job.

  5. Specify the recovery options for the estimation run on the next series of panels. The panels are identical to those used for simulation. For more information, see Task-5-Setting-options-to-generate-simulation-JCL.

    Important

    BMC AMI Recovery Manager appends .EST to the data set name if the final node does not end in EST or .EST. You must have created the GDG base previously.

  6. To generate the job now, select 8. Prepare to Recover the DB2 Subsystem (ARMBSRR) and then press Enter.
